As you might have read in another of my topics I just lost my AXIA 1.33ghz 266 T-Bird due to braided PVC hose rocking the waterblock up off the chip (after I changed my video card). I've taken the very largest diameter paths I could (no sharp bends at all). But really the hose is to stiff.

What does everybody recommend for a kink and collapse (from the pump suction) resistant hose which is very flexible (so this time the waterblock isn't being rocked at all)???

I've already been told about McMaster Tygon in 1/8" Wall, 1/2" ID. 3/4" OD and McMaster Silicon in same size. Has anyone had any luck with these, or what do you recommend in 1/2" (doesn't need to be clear, anything flexible and kink / collapse resistant)???

I really don't care to spend a couple dollars a foot as cheap hose cost me 200USD (about) for a new CPU
